It fits into the Animated style though. I wonder if we'll be seeing toys for these two, or if they're just part of the Arrival comic:Cliffjumper wrote:Perceptor would be great if that was a joke head design.

Wheeljack looks too much like a Constructicon (please, Lord, let them not repeat the robotic "plumber's disease" motif). Of course, that could be their interpretation of a rough and tumble mad tinkerer/scientist (he would be the guy raiding Cybertron's 'graveyards' to get parts for his latest creation).
The original Perceptor was a geek more because of the way he acted rather than the way he looked. Like the hero of some '50s era scifi B list movies.
But I guess I'll live with either 'bot.
Just please let them release new shows soon.

You're right! There are two people in each picture! Plus, one of them is maybe a little bigger than the other. Plus in the first picture, both has glasses, while in the second... one has glasses... and it kinda nosedives from there.
To about here.

Then it sort of hits the ground here, and skids along.
And crashes and burns here.

I don't think that's an unreasonable comparison. Jamie is a broad-shoulder science guy with an awesome 'stach. Wheeljack, also a broad-shoulder science guy (presumably) with a faux mustach. Adam is a skinny science guy who is far too excitable. Perceptor is a skinny science guy (presumably)... and the comparison ends there; suppose he could be written as being excitable, though.
When I first saw these pics, I didn't think of the Mythbusters, but I can see where others would pick up on a (slight) resemblance.
It would, however, be completely awesome if the Mythbusters were the inspiration for these designs and they voiced them on the show. I'd even be pleased with a one or two line each cameo in passing.

Just as long as Wheeljack isn't voiced by Tim Allen in his "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" mode.
Not that it couldn't be well done (Wheeljack was in a constant quest for 'more power'), but that there's already been one Disney crossover and even a second pseudo crossover is two too many....

Wheel jack i can stand, but there's just something bout it i can't possibly like. Probably the face. It's g1-esque, alright, but i just don't like it. And the waist panels look like Freedom Gundam's.
I hate Perceptor. It looks crap. The head is way off, and at first i really thought i was looking at an animated fembot. The cannon/Microscope thingie is the only part i like.
